"Why don't you just process it yourself?"

If I sell 100lbs of raw milk to a cooperative, which 85% of the United States Dairy farmers do because it's been the "trusted" method for near a century, I currently get paid roughly $15 for those 100lbs. (Already established Grade A or B inspected milking facility)

If I bottle the raw milk directly from the tank after it has been cooled to around 38 degrees, I can sell a gallon for $5 (after my bottle and label cost is removed) at 8.6lbs per gallon, is $58 for the same 100lbs of milk. (No additional equipment)

If I were to contact zoning, the health department, get a loan for the pasteurizing equipment, and double my labor and expenses to then pasteurized, bottle, market and move all of my own milk, I'd get paid roughly $29 for the same 100lbs. (Price per gallon and expenses variable. People would still complain that I don't carry 2%, the right sizes and it's out of stock occasionally when they want it)

What makes the most sense on pen and paper? Why would the state government want to control and keep that much money out of the farmers hands? It couldn't possibly be safety with all of the alcohol, to***co products and OTC drugs available... your thoughts?

No human is perfect, you don't have to agree with every single thing someone says but you can maintain a level of respect and admiration for them just the same.

What a neat experience to have been able to share 30 years on this earth with the amazing, talented and charismatic Dolly Parton. Listening to her interviews resurfacing shows just how down to earth and sensible she was even through the fame and glory!

To add:

Some folks were unsure how the milkers work in the parlor at start up in one of my videos last week. When taking down the claws for milking, they are detached from the jetter cups and placed upside down on the clean concrete and attached to the cylinder string and snap. This allows the vacuum in the cylinder to retract and pull the claws into the position they will hang at throughout the entire milking. The claws don't get placed in dirt or manure or anywhere else that may have someone gasping for their pearls. They also can't hang w***y nilly at knee height inside of the pit because when the vacuum turns on and the claws are quickly retracted into place, they would get caught on the lip of the stainless splatter bar and break the snaps, rope, hoses, and more.

The previous video showed all of the milkers in place to turn the system on, by the time I walked up the stairs, a cow had pushed the sliding door open and walked in her lane, gently stepping around the claws on the deck, ready to be milked. This isn't a problem unless she poops on the milkers, then it has to be cleaned (which happens occasionally during milking too...)

Welcome to my educational page of dairy farming! Thank you for being here and always post questions in the comments or anything you'd like to learn more about.

Throwback to my home farm, unloading wagons in this corner of the property was one of my least favorite jobs. Hearing that elevator kick on at 7am before the sun crested the bank barn roof had me sighing in dismay. Clearly dad had beat me to it and I was going to hear about it. ☀️

We unloaded hay into both sides of the bank barn and often through the white sliding door into the mow. I remember stacking bales to the roof, the dust being thick and the heat being unbearable but we did it because that's what we had to as a hay making and livestock raising farm. There were often holes in the floor and rotten eggs to dodge from old chicken nests, it was much of a landmine as any video game my friends chose to play. 🥚

The neighborhood boys would get roped into helping or voluntold by their parents. They were several years older than me, always taller, stronger and faster moving but usually supportive and encouraging when my face was as red as a turnip and hands were shaking from exhaustion. The calluses still remain and are tougher than ever. Having unloaded over 600 small squares by myself last summer as a single woman at 29, I gladly wait until the sun goes down to back the wagon in and move at my own pace. 15 off the wagon and 15 stacked, then maybe a little water break. After all, nobody is around to chastise my 🐌 pace...

What's not to love about making small squares the traditional way? Do you still do it or bundle them now?
